William Stourton, 12th Baron Stourton

He died on August 7, 1685 in Stourton, Wiltshire, England.

Although taking his seat in Parliament in 1673, the Test Act of 1678 meant that he was excluded from the House of Lords after only five years for being Roman Catholic.

[1] His successors were also excluded, until the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act in 1829.

The couple had at least six sons, two of whom died as infants.
